Australia Panel Recommends Anything Goes Cloning License

Michael Cook is the editor of Bio Edge and he has published a powerful opinion article in the Australian about a science panel that recommends not only overturning Australia’s current ban on all human cloning, but permitting a virtually anything goes license for biotech. Here is the key paragraph:

“The public is being sold a pig in a poke. In return for stuffing the Christmas stockings of scientists full of goodies, it gets gilt-edged promises. The guys in white coats, on the other hand, get jobs, research contracts and royalties on their patented discoveries. Some of them will become very rich. Drug companies will get cheaper clinical trials. And to add insult to injury, the report firmly states that patients must not share in profits which might arise from the use of their tissue.”

This illustrates that the biotechnology ideologues will never willingly accept any permanent meaningful boundaries.
